โฆ Synopsis
We propose a fully dynamic distributed algorithm for the all-pairs shortest paths problem on general networks with positive real edge weights. If is the number of pairs of nodes changing the distance after a single edge modiรฟcation (insert, delete, weight decrease, or weight increase) then the message complexity of the proposed algorithm is O(n ) in the worst case, where n is the number of nodes of the network. If = o(n 2 ), this is better than recomputing everything from scratch after each edge modiรฟcation. Up to now only a result of Ramarao and Venkatesan was known, stating that the problem of updating shortest paths in a dynamic distributed environment is as hard as that of computing shortest paths.

## Abstract This paper presents a distributed algorithm for the singleโsource shortestโpaths problem in a network with nonnegative integral link weights. Its message complexity is , where __n__ is the number of processors, __e__ is the number of links, and __D__ is the maximum distance from the ro
In an execution of a distributed program, processes communicate among themselves by exchanging messages. The execution speed of the program could be expedited by a faster message delivery system, transmitting messages to their destinations through their respective shortest paths. Some distributed al
